There are many profiles in courage in the #EndSARS and #LekkiMassacre2020 . The many young men and women who marched peacefully and occupied the toll gate, singing the national anthem and waving our country's flag. The victims who gave their lives for their country.
Then those who played specific, special roles during/after the crisis such as @dj_switchaholic (who exposed the Massacre live) @SavvyRinu @AbdulMahmud01 , members of the Lagos State Judicial Panel who, against all odds and lies from the seats of power, spoke the TRUTH.
Our country owes them all.. I commend them.. Looking back years from now, #EndSARS and the #LekkiMassacre will be the recognized as the seed of the liberation of Nigeria's youth and the country’s citizens from the tyranny and selfishness of Nigeria's corrupt political elite.
In telling the truth and thereby defeating the unfortunate effort by @NigeriaGov to suppress it, the judicial panel has perhaps done the biggest job of all by validating the courage of our young men and women. I salute them. I was skeptical that they would do what they've done,
but we must never be so unbelieving of the capacity of men and women, even in Nigeria, to do the right thing. Our country can be far better than it is today. It is possible, if we work for that outcome.
